Configuring Ethernet Interfaces

To configure a 1-Gigabit Ethernet port, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# interface type slot/port
Step 3
switch(config-if)# speed speed
The following example shows how to set the speed for a 1-Gigabit Ethernet port:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# speed 1000
This command can only be applied to a physical Ethernet interface.
If the interface and transceiver speed is mismatched, this shows as "SFP validation failed" when you run
Note
the show interface ethernet slot/port command. For example, if you insert 1-Gigabit SFP transceiver
into a port without configuring speed 1000 you will get this error. By default, all ports are 10-Gigabit.
Configuring the CDP Parameter
You can enable or disable the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) for Ethernet interfaces. This protocol
works only when you have it enabled on both interfaces on the same link.
To enable or disable CDP for an interface, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# interface type slot/port
Step 3
switch(config-if)# cdp enable
switch(config-if)# cdp enable
The following example shows how to enable CDP for an Ethernet port:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# cdp enable
This command can only be applied to a physical Ethernet interface.

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Enters interface configuration mode for the specified
interface. This interface must have a 1-Gigabit
Ethernet SFP+ transceiver inserted into it.
Sets the speed on the interface.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Enters interface configuration mode for the specified
interface.
Enables CDP for the interface.
To work correctly, this parameter must be enabled for
both interfaces on the same link.
Disables CDP for the interface.
